The text describing Sections in Documentation Generator page (http://dlang.org/ddoc.html) is not accurate.

> Sections

> The document comment is a series of Sections. A Section is a name that is the first non-blank character > on a line immediately followed by a ':'. This name forms the section name. The section name is not case > sensitive.

1. A section is not a name. It has a name (except when it doesn't). May I
propose:
" A section is a block of text that is given special meaning by the document
generator based on either position or a{n} [predefined?]
(identifier|name|label|keyword). Details of each kind of section follow"

2. A name can be more than one character. I believe all the standard sections have names longer than 1 character.

3. Some sections do not end their identifiers with a colon (':') to wit
"Escapes=".

4. The wording leaves the impression that arbitrary named sections are possible, is this the case? Or are the named sections predefined (i.e. those listed as standard and special sections)?
